Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blondie's song D-Day are an interesting mix of power, seduction, and intrigue. The song appears to be about a woman who is ready to invade her lover's privacy and make a mess of what's left of it. In the chorus, she declares that it's D-Day - the day of reckoning when she's ready to take what she wants. She urges her lover to transfer their love to her and to make a mess of their last love.

Throughout the song, the woman takes on the persona of a devilish seductress, using her beauty and powers of persuasion to get what she wants. She taunts her lover, telling them that she's going to take them to bed with her and trade in their liberty for her own desires. The lyrics are filled with sexual innuendo and suggest that the woman is not shy when it comes to pursuing what she wants.

Overall, the lyrics to D-Day paint a picture of a powerful, assertive woman who is not afraid to take control of a situation, even if it means making a mess of someone else's life. The seductress in the song is a complex character, one who is both alluring and dangerous, and someone who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

А ВоВ Великая отечественная война, происходила исключительно на территории СССР.И в СССР с фашистами боролись только Советские войска,которые за 5лет перемололи свыше 80% фашистской орды,за которую воевала вся европейская промышленность..Не слышал ни разу о американских батальонах,ротах или взводах,которые воевали в ВоВ на территории СССР,против фашистов😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My Grandpa was 18 when he stormed the beaches at Normandy (Omaha) and he was awarded a Purple Heart for getting injured. I always wanted to talk to him about it, but he never wanted to speak on it so I never pressed him. I can only imagine the horrors he witnessed that day. It’s a miracle he turned out to be the kindest person I’ve ever known, he was my hero. RIP Gramps!

He fought at Chef du Pont and the bridge at La Fiere. He was 26 on DDay and lived to be 94. I visited Normandy with him two times.

That is awesome. Your dad came from a time when men were men, and you did what you had to do to get the job done. My grandfather was a gliderman/airborne in the 82nd. He entered the war through Holland along with British paratroopers in Operation Market Garden. I never really knew until watching Band of Brothers back then, and I recognized the patch on their Garrison cover was the same as in my grandads photos. I wish I had known him. I was told he never talked about the war other than his time in England before the push into Holland.

As a nurse WWII vets were always the BEST patients I ever had. Always upbeat regardless of the situation or hardship. Never self focused, they easily rolled with the punches and seemed grateful for the smallest things. I can tell you those horrific days of battle lived strong beneath their calm exteriors. I remember working one night and very old man in his 90s was yelling something about jumping in foxholes in his dreams. Sweetest man you every met, but he went to war in his dreams. Hard to believe they are almost all gone today. What a huge lose, those of us left behind have much work to do filling their giant shoes.

He died in 1996, never married, lived in my Grand Mothers basement as far back as I can remember as a little kid growing up in the 70s.. He was quiet and kept to himself, I would go down and visit him, I would walk with him to the corner store, he would hold my hand with his big hands, he would buy a carton of cigarettes and buy me candy. I didnt know he was in the war until after he passed away.

He said it was because they knew how to shoot, and they were tough because of the logging they did. He had many stories, and he had a way of telling them that'd make you smile. He refrained from the bad ones. He went on an honor flight to Washington to see the memorials, and to me, was larger than life and a true American. Salute to you my friend, RIP.

Back when they released Saving Private Ryan, I was on a business trip and arrived in Perryville MO early. Out of boredom I decided to catch the movie at a matinee. I’m a Marine. There were only six others in the theater that day. It was a nice theater with all the superior surround sound effects. The six others consisted of 3 elderly couples, that sat apart and didn’t appear to be together. The beginning of the movie in that superior theater was to say the least incredibly intense and impactful. It definitely took me aback.
I noticed that not long after the start, each of the couples got up and left. When the last couple stood up they stopped the movie. I went out into the hall where all three of the men where visibly distraught and being consoled by their partners. I too was greatly impacted and was tearing up. A theater person approached and asked me to move from the area. It appears it was a special private showing just for these 3 men—all D-Day vets—and I was mistakenly sold a ticket. I cannot fathom what these men experienced then, but I was truly humbled to be in their presence. It all really brought this home—WAY home, how magnificent these men are.

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Eve Branson (Richard Branson's mother) several years ago. Knowing she was a young woman during the war, I asked her what her most indelible memory was. What she told me gave chills. She was a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (one of 180,000 women who were). On June 6, 1944, she was stationed on the Isle of Wight, an island off the southern coast of England. She said she woke up at dawn, looked out her window, and saw a 5,000 ship armada churning towards the Normandy coast. I can only imagine what she felt, looking from surely the most iconic point of view at one of the most iconic moments in human history.

What really chaps my American a__ is how my fellow American vets had to sacrifice themselves in much larger numbers while dinky winky Brits/Canadians took the easier routes. This "Brit" vid acts like Brits caught all kinds of Germans. Bull sh--. The moronic queer sounding narrator actually has the nerve to say that Americans didn't know where much of Europe was on a map. LOL. That's why we'd had better training and valor when it came to that time of war. Of course, they had to know maps very well...even if most war vets weren't really aware of exactly where they were headed. That's part of war anyway duh. More Americans died but they captured more and destroyed more of enemy weaponry and bases. Yes, the RBA helped significantly but as it seems Americans did the grunt and detail all the way through. Not entirely of course, but sort of reminds me of Americans in the private yachting industry and yet these losers in Euro-TrashVille have the nerve to revel in putting Americans down to this dammm day. Guess what, LIKE we care. We're still the main character in the English international world, Mr and Ms BooHooJealousy. Glad you're enjoying our industries and technology STILL. And we don't have to speak your overtly pedantic "queens" English. What a joke. You never really deserved us in the first place. AND your "commander" Mont-Weeny something was too slow and cowardly to handle this years before. If he's such a hero, why did he wait years too long before these vermin spread throughout Europe? It wasn't our land anyway. So for all Americans who've been vets present, past, way back during the War....YOURE WELCOME. Yeah shut up.

My father landed on the Omaha beach. He never mentioned it until he was in hospice in 2001. Never.
What he said about his landing that it was horrible. The sand was red from blood as far as you could see and the water too; and you had to walk on the dead bodies to get off the beach.
That's all he ever said about his war experience to me.
His mother, my grand mother, told me why he didn't have any toe tips when I was really young, maybe 6 or 7. She said Dad lost them in the bulge. It took 15 - 20 years to realize what she meant.
War never ends for those and their families that live it. Never.

My gpa was also on the beaches of Normandy, he still talks about it today he was stationed in Ft. Riley, Kansas, he was an Army Ranger on one of the first 50 boats to arrive onto the shore, I guess when they landed as soon as the ramp came down he told me his buddy got shot in the face and he tried to drag him onto shore but the water was too deep so he had to leave him and that the water was in fact pure red from left to right he said he hadn’t ever been more scared in his whole life. He had gotten shot in the leg several times I guess the medic that was helping him got shot in the neck and another medic came over to help and he got blown to pieces from a German hand grenade. I couldn’t imagine being there I think I’d shit my pants. My gpa made it out alive though he told me many stories about his experience, I love listening to him speak about it. He’s still alive and 97 years old, can’t believe what all he had to do through I am very proud of him.

I'm not sure if it's my age or my professional interest in Doc films, but as a son of a recently passed British war mum I am drawn to this period and the sheer magnitude of the hope and eternal suffering. How a tiny island managed to hang on is beyond me. My mother, as just one part of her "War Effort" was visiting the wounded (sadly mostly American kids) she went into graphic detail the terrible wounds and the horror of war, but was always able to say. "well that's what you did then, there was no other choice." Subsequent generations were gifted Choice by individuals like my mum and the soldiers of D-Day as a way of life because of the millions who simply did what they had to do. These docs celebrate all of them. Thank you.

My grandfather drove a Sherman for the 1st Polish Armored Division. He fought against the communists when they invaded Poland and escaped to England to join the Allied army. The stories he told us about the war seemed to be taken from a movie, during the war 4 tanks were destroyed and he lost many colleagues. When we were kids my brother innocently asked him if he had killed anyone in the war, all he did was look at the ground, cry and walk away. When he got Alzheimer's, he mistook us for German soldiers, sent us to cook for the battalion. He will always be a hero to me, but the story of each one of these boys was very hard and sad.

Excellent documentary. My mother was a Doctor at Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth which overlooked the harbor and was one of the major embarkation ports. The harbour had been crammed for weeks.. The weather on the night of June 5th was not good. She was astounded to see the harbour empty on the morning of the 6th. Being British no one at breakfast talked about the empty harbour. They just sat there silently. Then there was a phone call telling them to get ready for a large number of casualties. She died in 2003.

We Polak's would've never stopped fighting but if the Yankees didn't get involved when they did, I think this world would have seen a different fate. Every time I saw a WW2 Veteran at a local VA I frequented, I would literally get goosebumps and feel a wave of gratefulness and sorrow overtake me. They were all so much older than the middle east or Vietnam or Korea or Middle East Vets, but they stole everyone's attention and commanded respect and adoration as they were chauffeured or otherwise assisted from wherever they were to wherever they were going in that moment.

At the exit, an older French woman, probably in her 80s, clasped my hands in hers and said Merci, merci beaucoup. I was dumbfounded and managed to say You're welcome, which wasn't very eloquent.

I admire those countries that value every human life. 300 Canadians died, 2000 Americans during the landing. and at the same time, the generals think about the effectiveness of such an operation. Isn't it coming with too many sacrifices? The operator is horrified by the fact that dead bodies lie at every step. And at the same time, on the eastern front, Stalin is sending millions of Russian soldiers to certain death. 28 million dead between 1941 and 1945! 28 million! Human life was not taken into account here. People ran to attack over the corpses of their comrades. They fled with only one purpose - to die. “When a forest is cut down, then chips fly,” said Stalin. And this bloody tyrant, a truly crazy maniac, is called a hero.

He said said they would stay in fox holes for days in the freezing cold he said the people that didn't have family or really anything to go back home to would go crazy staying in their fox holes for that long and would run out and get shot. He said all of his friends died and he just stopped making friends because it was to hard to deal with their death. He kept a little bible in his pocket and read a verse everytime he had to run and get ammo drops not knowing if he's going to get shot or step on a land mine. He stormed the beaches of Normandy and was shot in the hip in the European theater. He came home and bought 100 acre's of land that my family still owns. He died at age 87 he had a good life after the war I am proud to have known him.

I not only celebrate his birthday every year, but our Liberation.
Thank you Allies!!

I think, by looking which direction France, Portugal, Spain and Germany and now UK is going, it look like nothing was learned from history by them. Now due to political correctness, Muslims are taking country by country, governments, using our law, TV, and media. I think our soldiers, knights now are just crying in their grave what is happening in EU... Soon EU or if now, is just another Muslim country state...These countries are gone now.

My Dad was a sergeant in charge of his platoon of 11 guys, 2x Universal Carriers and 2x 3 inch Mortars and attached to the 3rd Canadian Division during the D-Day landings on Juno Beach (Nan White). He fought all through Europe into Berlin including on the ill-fated Operation Market Garden. Dad eventually discharged from the army in the 1950s at the rank of Company Quarter Master Sergeant (CQMS). Rest in peace Dad.

@@dennispfeifer7788 That's correct. It's also correct that Stalin's Russia started out at the beginning of WW2 on Hitler's Nazi Germany side against the Western allies. The Hitler-Stalin Pact (also called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) signed on 23rd August, 1939 in Moscow, laid the foundation for the outbreak of WW2 in Europe. The Treaty included that Germany and the Soviet Union agreed on the partition of Poland and Eastern Europe, including Finland. Of course Hitler eventually double-crossed Stalin, but considering Russia had been an ally of the west during WW1, it's an example of how another Russian leader could not be trusted. Putin is cast in the same mold as his soviet era counterpart.

Intestinal fortitude. We who live in the allied countries should never forget. Not just D Day. All of the struggles, hardships, assaults on the person, destruction of property, death and ruined lives that were part of and the consequence of war. When tyranny rears its head whether it be at home or abroad we who cherish freedom have a duty to our forefathers, to each other, and to our heirs to confront it, stop it and destroy it. This film was very well done.

Regarding what your documentary asked in the part about Juno Beach - "What were these young soldiers thinking..." I can answer specifically for one - Mervin Franklin Jones, one of the first Canadian D-Day paratroopers on the ground. He was thinking "Mervin, I don't think you're going to see your 22nd birthday." My grandfather did survive, and showing that sometimes the universe has a sense of irony, this D-Day participant's 22nd birthday was May 8, 1945 , Victory in Europe Day. It is very good that people are still reminded of the sacrifices so many made to fight for others who needed our help, as there are fewer and fewer of them around to tell us their stories now.

the weird thing is, that the losses and effords to win the war are still being exaggerated by the allied. i don´t know why, but i think its to make the final victory look even bigger. at that point it was only a question of time untill it was over. probably even without an invasion. Germany was already bombed into smithereens and japan also.
the sad thing about the war is, that the politicians "needed" the battles of berlin, france and in the pacific to make a stand and to show the world how powerfull they are. not to mention the drop of the a-bomb. And so thousands of young men are sent to die.

WOW! This is the best actual footage of WWII I've ever seen. I cant say how impressed I am with the film and story. The only criticism is blurring the dead. Not trying to be morbid, but they gave it all and those alive today need to see the stark reality of war. I liked the emphasis on the preparation, training, ingenuity, and disguise that went into D-Day, and the logistics of making it all happen. That was what the Allies had over the enemy, rather than an small collective of yes men scared of their master. I stayed up way too late to watch this, but it was well worth it. I'll be imploring many to watch this. The significance of WWII, and especially D-Day, needs to be understood by anyone alive that would side with the Allies.

well said, it’s hard to put to perspective but those men out there aged 18-25 are just like us, imagine everything you worked for and the character you built is now being sent to a war. everyone wants to be alive, everyone didn’t want to die but the truth is men were already facing death before they even knew it. from running to just all of a sudden seeing black within a matter of seconds. those who weren’t dead watched the dead perish as they drowned in their own breath. that’s the reality. bodies of men mutilated beyond recognition, to still go out there after seeing that.. man these people were a whole different breed.

True. However their families and their generals, and their fellow soldiers all said they didn't want them filmed, even at the time to the cameramen on the ground. This was mentioned in the documentary.

Besides I think most people understand what dead is. If they don't understand what dead is without seeing someone missing a leg I don't know what to tell you. They are probably too young to be watching this at all...

Them not blurring parts would also likely get the video flagged and thus removed from many eyes. Reducing the educational reach and purpose of the documentary...

My parents were children living on the south coast of England during the war. Both had narrow escapes from pieces of aircraft falling during the Battle of Britain or being strafed by a German raider. They told me how the entire town was sealed off for weeks before D Day because there was no hiding all the massive troops movements, vehicles and shipping being concentrated. On the night of D Day itself they were woken by the sound of hundreds of aircraft passing overhead, all going south across the coast. In the morning all the assault ships and troops ships had gone from the harbour and the Mulberry caissons had been towed over the horizon. In the days that followed there was an endless flow of aircraft and more ships carrying troops and equipment. It was something they never forget and told us about when we were children ourselves. In the area around our town it was Canadian troops who were stationed and it was some of those brave men who carried out the Dieppe Raid some years before and from which so much was learned but at great cost.

@@randybobandy9828 It was mainly bombs dropped from aircraft, just under 100 raids killing 300 and injuring around 500. But yes, there were some V1s during 1944. As far as I know there were no V2s in our particular town. With the V1s, Britain had captured all German spies parachuted into the country and false information was being fed back to Germany about the location of where V1s fell. As most were initially targeted at London, information was given to Germany that the missiles had fallen past London and to shorten the range. The meant that most V1s fell on fields , villages and smaller towns between the coast and London. Later in the war some coastal towns were the target, specially where there was a port or railway junction. My parents said that when the V1 motor stopped, they counted to 10 and that's when it detonated on the ground. Of course, those under the V2 target areas had no warning at all and for a while, the authorities had no idea what was causing those explosions.
